Target data

Function

Inhibits signal transduction by increasing the GTPase activity of G protein alpha subunits thereby driving them into their inactive GDP-bound form. Binds selectively to G(z)-alpha and G(alpha)-i2 subunits, accelerates their GTPase activity and regulates their signaling activities. The G(z)-alpha activity is inhibited by the phosphorylation and palmitoylation of the G-protein. Negatively regulates mu-opioid receptor-mediated activation of the G-proteins (By similarity).

Activity summary

RGS20 also known as Regulator of G-protein Signaling 20 is a protein that functions mechanically as a GTPase-activating protein (GAP) for G-alpha subunits of heterotrimeric G proteins. It accelerates the termination of G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) signaling pathways by increasing the GTPase activity of the G-alpha subunit. The protein has a molecular mass of approximately 26 kDa. RGS20 is expressed in various tissues with high levels in the brain and some expression in peripheral tissues such as the spleen and lung.

Biological function summary

RGS20 modulates signal transduction by accelerating the deactivation of G-proteins which plays an important role in regulating GPCR signaling. It associates with G-beta and G-gamma forming a complex that allows for more efficient signal regulation. The activity of RGS20 is vital in neuronal signaling processes within the brain contributing to regulation of neurotransmitter release and synaptic plasticity.

Pathways

RGS20 influences several G-protein mediated pathways such as the cAMP signaling pathway and the MAPK pathway. It interacts with the G-alpha subunits like G-alpha i and G-alpha q influencing the pathways' duration and intensity. RGS20's regulation of these pathways affects various cellular responses including cell growth and differentiation.

Associated diseases and disorders

RGS20 relates to neurological disorders and cancer. Altered expression of RGS20 has been observed in some types of brain tumors and neurodegenerative diseases. It is associated with dopamine receptors that are implicated in disorders like schizophrenia and Parkinson's disease. Changes in RGS20 expression or function can affect signaling pathways related to these conditions making it an important protein for research in therapeutic targeting.
